144. Half Dead Bug

The Dead Bug is a fundamental core exercise that helps teach the concept of "bracing" or "drawing in" which is the ability to engage the abdominals and other core musculature concentrically on exhalation (think blowing out the birthday candles) and eccentrically while inhaling (breathe through your nose and feel your abs harden and stretch like they are inflating).

Words of the wise - view injuries as tollbooths not roadblocks. You may have to stop and pay the fee to get back on the road, but your journey doesn’t stop and you can still get to where you want to go. The roadblock completely halts your progress and doesn’t allow you to go forward. You have the choice to view your injury as either one. Onward! @eliza_manning is an awesome example of someone who has the tollbooth mindset #athlete #fight #swim #strength #pull #back @explosiveperformance #trainwithpurpose #wisdom #strengthandconditioning #girlpower
